Propulsion System Duty Cycle Engineer

• Propulsion System Duty Cycle Engineer is responsible for developing Virtual Duty Cycle simulation models and generating torque and speed histograms for transmission, electric drive modules, and driveline components for design development purpose.
• Engineer creates Duty Cycle simulation models based on power flow for new vehicle architectures, utilizes driving profiles based on failure modes and quality requirements. Develop duty cycle requirements for gears, bearings, and other driveline components.
• Works with counterparts to optimize propulsion system for performance, fuel-economy (range), drivability, and durability requirements.
• Works with driveline design release, component suppliers, and other virtual engineering teams to deliver driveline requirements, develop component level tests, and evaluate proposals to reduce cost & weight.
• Works with Customer Experience teams to review customer driving behaviors/surveys to develop or modify durability test schedules.
• Communicates the simulation results in oral presentations and written reports to Chief Engineers, Component design/release engineers, durability test engineers, and Propulsion System management.
